COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF THE STATE OF CORRECTIONAL MANPOWER AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT.

Abstract

UNDER THE SPONSORSHIP OF ITS 95 MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS, THE JOINT COMMISSION HAS CONDUCTED THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS EVER UNDERTAKEN OF THE EDUCATION, TRAINING, AND MANPOWER UTILIZATION NEEDS OF THE NATION'S CORRECTIONAL AGENCIES. ITS FAR-REACHING STUDIES HAVE TOUCHED ALMOST EVERY CORRECTIONAL AGENCY IN THE COUNTRY, A LARGE NUMBER OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, AND A NATIONAL SAMPLE OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THIS REPORT IS OF SPECIAL SIGNIFICANCE TO THE CORRECTIONS COMMUNITY, THE EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITY, FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LEGISLATIVE BODIES, AND THE PUBLIC AT LARGE. IT IS HOPED THAT THESE GROUPS WILL MERGE THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT CRIME AND ITS REDUCTION BY CREATING AND SUPPORTING IMAGINATIVE MANPOWER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS FOR CORRECTIONS. MANY OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS WILL REQUIRE NEW FEDERAL AND STATE LEGISLATION TO ENSURE THEIR FULL IMPLEMENTATION. OTHERS DEMAND CHANGES IN ATTITUDES, POLICIES AND PRACTICES ON THE PART OF CORRECTIONAL AGENCIES, HIGHER EDUCATION, PRIVATE INDUSTRY AND THE PUBLIC.
